Program Description
This webinar begins with a survey of malpractice exposure faced by all valuation professionals in their role as an expert witness. Increasingly, witness immunity fails to protect experts from malpractice and breach of contract claims. Among these malpractice risks are disqualification at a Daubert hearing due to flawed methodology, the arguably greater problem of qualifying as an expert witness only to be subjected to damaging cross examination, deficient disclosures under expert witness discovery rules, inadvertently breaking the seal of attorney client privilege, and conflict of interest. A companion topic would be retaliatory claims by clients when pressured to pay outstanding expert witness fees. Solutions to these problems are offered.
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:
Survive a motion to exclude your expert witness testimony
Who Should Attend
Anyone who wants to learn the theory and basic tactics of cross examination, including attorneys, CPAs, engineers, real estate brokers, medical practitioners, insurance brokers, consultants, and others who serve as experts in litigation matters and as expert witnesses
